Description

Set on a peaceful third of an acre plot on the edge of the Cairngorm National Park, Drovers House is a bright, contemporary home offering style, flexibility and energy efficiency in equal measure. Architect-designed in 2008 with further modern upgrades since, the property includes a stunning garden room, versatile gym, four upgraded bathrooms and a separate one-bedroom studio annexe currently run as a successful holiday apartment. It's a superb opportunity for those seeking modern rural living with income potential.
The home’s exterior is cleanly finished with timber windows and modern rooflines, while the tarmac driveway provides turning space and parking for multiple vehicles. There’s an integral garage, a separate powered workshop, a timber garden store and a woodstore on the grounds too. Landscaped lawns, patios, with a mixture of natural and artificial grass and raised flower beds create a varied and inviting outdoor setting, with post and wire fencing marking the boundaries.
Inside, the home offers 225 square metres of bright, well-maintained living space, thoughtfully designed for modern living. Energy performance is a standout here, with an EPC rating of B, 25 photovoltaic solar panels and a Tesla Powerwall system offering both self-generation and grid-linked micro-generation income. The oil-fired boiler supplies underfloor heating to the ground floor and radiators upstairs. Superfast broadband adds to the appeal, making the home ideal for remote working.
A bright front porch opens into a welcoming hallway, finished with grey floor tiles, soft-painted walls and solid wood detailing. Just off the hall, the ground floor shower room makes an immediate impression with sleek black wall tiles, a modern corner cubicle and an illuminated mirror for better visibility and a contemporary touch. Chrome fixtures and a fresh, clean finish complete the space.
The kitchen and dining area offer a spacious, contemporary setting with sleek finishes and thoughtful design throughout. Glossy white cabinets are paired with soft grey worktops and matching grey tiled splashbacks, set against crisp white painted walls. A striking white sink with a modern tap sits beneath a window, while integrated appliances include twin ovens, a microwave and gas hob, with dedicated American style fridge/freezer wine chiller and dishwasher to complete the setup. Just off the kitchen, a separate utility room maintains the same polished look, with extra cabinetry, a second sink and room for laundry appliances, including a shelved storage cupboard ideal for keeping the main space tidy and organised. The generous dining area sits beneath a large picture window, with crisp white walls and a deep grey feature wall that echoes the tone of the tiled flooring. This contemporary space offers plenty of room for a family-sized table and chairs, ideal for both everyday dining and entertaining.
From here the home opens into a striking main living room, where soaring ceilings make the space feel open and inviting. Deep grey feature walls add contrast to the soft neutral palette, while a contemporary wood-burning stove sits within a grey tiled surround, providing a stylish focal point. Quality tiled flooring adds texture underfoot and continues seamlessly into the newly built garden room - an exceptional addition to the home! Surrounded by full-height glazing, bi-fold doors and a glazed ceiling, this light-filled retreat connects effortlessly to the outdoors. With ample space for lounge seating, it’s a standout spot to relax and take in the garden views.
Also on the ground floor is a versatile suite currently used as a home gym, but easily adaptable as a spacious fourth bedroom. Finished with crisp white walls, it’s a bright and generous space that currently houses a home gym. Tucked off to the side is a dedicated walk-in dressing room - an ideal space for wardrobe storage, with fitted drawers, hanging space and a window that brings in natural light. There is also a large double cupboard for extra storage. Completing this self-contained area is a private en-suite shower room, beautifully styled with cream-toned tiles inside a sleek, curved shower enclosure, alongside a modern white toilet and wash-hand basin. Whether used as a hobby room, for guests or simply as a luxurious ground floor bedroom, this flexible space is a standout feature of the home.
A solid oak staircase, where a large glass panelled gallery landing offers a reading nook or storage space, kept warm by a radiator and finished in soft carpet. The family bathroom and three further bedrooms branch from here, each with its own distinct character.
The master bedroom delivers space, style and privacy in equal measure. A large dormer window fills the room with natural light providing uninterrupted views across to the hills, while exposed brick-style wallpaper adds texture and interest against the other neutral walls. A tall white vertical radiator keeps the space cosy while there’s ample room for a king-size bed and additional furniture. The main bedroom benefits from its own private walk-in dressing room, which offers built-in hanging and drawer space, the perfect addition to keep the room clutter-free. Beyond this, the en-suite shower room continues the polished finish, with a grey-toned vanity unit and lit wall mirror, along with a mains shower set inside a curved enclosure with complementary tiling throughout.
The second bedroom mirrors the master in its layout and charm, with the same stylish brick-effect feature wall, timber flooring underfoot and a large dormer window looking out across the surrounding countryside. The third bedroom sits next door, with a soft cream carpet and matching dormer window. This offers a peaceful and comfortable space ideal for guests, children or home office setup.
The main bathroom is a highlight of the home, with white walls offset by striking blue-green tiling. A freestanding deep rounded grey bath sits proudly in front, perfect for a relaxing long soak. A sleek grey vanity unit supports a modern basin with storage beneath and a lit mirror above, while a chrome towel rail and Velux window complete the clean, high-end finish.
To the side of the main home, the annexe studio apartment offers incredible flexibility as an extended family space or - as it’s currently used - a profitable holiday let. It has its own private entrance, a ground floor shower room with grey-black tiling and electric shower, a compact kitchenette with oven and hob and a stylish upper floor open-plan bedroom/lounge with decorative electric fire and multiple windows for natural light.
Drovers House combines contemporary design, excellent energy performance and practical family space with standout features including a one-bedroom annexe and newly added garden room. With thoughtful upgrades, modern finishes and the bonus of income potential, this is a rare opportunity with easy access to the A9 connecting Aviemore and Inverness. Contact Hamish Homes today to arrange your private viewing, versatile homes of this calibre are highly sought after and won’t be available for long.
